South Australian major bank levy Budget implications ($000)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– 2016–17 2017–18 2018–19 2019–20 2020–21 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— Operating revenue — 97 000 89 000 89 000 95 000 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— A South Australian major bank levy will be introduced from 1 July 2017. The levy will apply to all authorised deposit-taking institutions that operate in South Australian and are liable for the Commonwealth Government major bank levy. The amount payable under the South Australian major bank levy will be 0.015 per cent of South Australia’s estimated share of the total value of bank liabilities subject to the Commonwealth Government major bank levy at the end of each quarter.

South Australia’s estimated share of relevant bank liabilities will be determined as South Australia’s gross state product share of national gross domestic product (currently around 6 per cent).

This measure will effectively double the rate of the Commonwealth Government’s major bank levy, but only on the proportion of estimated liabilities in South Australia.


Lower the payroll tax rate for small businesses Budget implications ($000)

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— 2016–17 2017–18 2018–19 2019–20 2020–21 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— Operating revenue — -15 300 -5 100 -5 500 -19 200 ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– The current small business payroll tax rebate will be replaced by a new payroll tax rate structure from 1 July 2017, locking in the concessional arrangements that apply as a result of the rebate as a permanent feature of the payroll tax rate structure and extending it to more small businesses. For taxable payrolls of up to $1.0 million, a rate of 2.5 per cent will be applicable compared to the existing rate of 4.95 per cent. The payroll tax rate will then incrementally increase to the general rate of 4.95 per cent for businesses with Australian payrolls above $1.5 million. The current rebate phases out at an annual payroll of $1.2 million and was due to expire on 30 June 2019.

It is estimated that around 3200 small businesses will have a payroll tax rate lower than 4.95 per cent. Of these around 1300 employers will benefit by up to $8820 from this initiative each year compared with the assistance received under the small business payroll tax rebate.

The replacement of the rebate scheme with a new lower tax structure also simplifies arrangements, removing the need for businesses to pay the tax up front with receipt of the rebate in the following year.

Employers eligible for the small business payroll tax rebate will still receive the rebate in 2017–18 (which is based on 2016–17 payrolls).

Introduce a conveyance duty surcharge on foreign buyers of residential property Budget implications ($000)

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— 2016–17 2017–18 2018–19 2019–20 2020–21 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— Operating revenue — 6 200 13 300 14 200 15 100 ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– A four per cent conveyance duty surcharge on purchases of residential property by foreign buyers and temporary residents will be introduced from 1 January 2018. This surcharge will be in addition to any other conveyance duty payable on the transfer of residential property.

New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland also levy a similar surcharge on foreign buyers of certain property and Western Australia has also indicated that it will introduce a surcharge in 2019.

Extend the off-the-plan apartment stamp duty concession Budget implications ($000)

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— 2016–17 2017–18 2018–19 2019–20 2020–21 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— Operating revenue — -800 -4 200 -3 400 — ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– The current stamp duty concession for purchases of off-the-plan apartments due to expire on 30 June 2017 has been extended for a further 12 months. Eligible contracts entered into for the purchase of an off-the-plan apartment by 30 June 2018 will receive a stamp duty concession of up to $15 500. The level of concession received varies depending on the value of the apartment and the stage of completion of the residential development. The concession applies statewide.

It is estimated that 800 off-the-plan apartment purchases will benefit from the extension of the concession. From 22 June 2017, foreign purchasers will no longer be eligible for the off-the-plan concession. The stamp duty concession will apply in addition to the $10 000 pre-construction grant for purchases of off-the-plan apartments up to 30 September 2017 as detailed in part 2 — Budget measures by agency.

Introduce a five year land tax exemption for investors who purchase off-the-plan apartments Budget implications ($000)

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— 2016–17 2017–18 2018–19 2019–20 2020–21 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–— Operating revenue — — -100 -100 -100 ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– An exemption from land tax for five years will be introduced for investors who purchase eligible off-the-plan apartments. The land tax exemption will apply for off-the-plan apartment contracts entered into between 22 June 2017 and 30 June 2018. The exemption will apply for the five years from the commencement of ownership.

It is estimated that the exemption will benefit around 100 land tax ownerships.

The government has established a $200 million Future Jobs Fund to support the growth of industries that will create the jobs of the future following the closure of our car industry. These industries are:

• Shipbuilding and defence • Renewable energy and mining • Tourism, food and wine • Health and biomedical research • Information technology and advanced manufacturing

Specific expenditure measures of $50 million as well as a provision for $30 million in low interest loans has been allocated in this budget. These measures appear later in this document.

The remainder of the Future Jobs Fund, comprising $50 million in grants and $70 million in low interest loans will be available to support job creation in the industry focus areas.

Early registrations are now being accepted for Future Jobs Fund grants and loans. Grants to support the development of business cases towards Future Jobs Fund applications are also available. See <treasury.sa.gov.au> for more information.

The government is inviting the Commonwealth Government to partner with us and match the state’s $200 million contribution.

Increase Job Accelerator Grant for apprentices and trainees


————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– 2016–17 2017–18 2018–19 2019–20 2020–21 Estimate Budget Estimate Estimate Estimate ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Operating expenses — -2 400 -4 000 -1 700 — Investing payments — -60 — — — ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

The Job Accelerator Grant will be increased by up to $5000 for each eligible new apprentice or trainee employed and eligible for an existing Job Accelerator Grant. The additional amount will be paid in two equal instalments on the first and second anniversary of employment. Businesses with payrolls between $600 000 and $5 million will receive up to $15 000 for each new apprentice and trainee, while small businesses with payrolls up to $600 000 will receive up to $9000.

Eligibility will be backdated to match the existing Job Accelerator Grant applications such that businesses which have already hired a new apprentice or trainee and registered for the grant will also be eligible for the increased payment.

It is estimated that around 2000 applications will be eligible for the additional grant.

This also provides $60 000 for the cost of necessary upgrades to RevenueSA’s systems to support the administration of this measure.

The $550 million energy plan will take charge of the state’s energy future and deliver reliable, affordable and clean power for South Australians. The Government of South Australia is committing $360 million towards building a 250 megawatt gas-fired power plant to provide emergency back-up power and system stability services, $150 million to a Renewable Technology Fund, part of which will be used to build Australia’s largest battery to store energy from the wind and sun, $24 million towards a new Plan for Accelerating Exploration (PACE) grants to incentivise gas production and additional funding for the implementation of the Energy Plan.

Since the announcement of this plan in March 2017, the government has made significant progress towards key deliverables, including:

• legislated more powers for the Minister, giving South Australians greater say over their energy supply and security

• finalising the procurement of 200 megawatts of short term emergency generation through SA Power Networks to ensure it is operating by 1 December 2017

• progressing the procurement process for the 100 megawatts of battery storage which is on track to enable it to be operating by 1 December 2017

• progressing the procurement processes for the 250 megawatt long term standby emergency generation and the new competitor to supply the government's energy usage requirements

• finalising arrangements for the establishment and operation of the Renewable Technology Fund; • a public call for proposals in the second round of the PACE gas grants program • finalising the regulations for the Energy Security Target following consultation with industry • ongoing work with the Australian Energy Market Operator, Essential Services Commission of South

Australia, the Office of the Technical Regulator and other key stakeholders regarding various components of the Energy Plan.

The government is on-track to ensure a timely delivery of its plan such that the benefits can be quickly realised by all South Australians.

This initiative provides $200 000 for the construction of a dedicated pedestrian bridge within the Brownhill Creek Recreation Park. The new bridge will be constructed alongside the existing White's Bridge to provide safe passage across the creek for pedestrians and school groups that frequent the park who are currently forced to share White's Bridge with vehicles. Support is also provided for ongoing maintenance.

Carbon Sequestration



This initiative provides $1.0 million over two years to kick start the carbon offset industry in South Australia, in partnership with corporate partners and environmental non-government organisations. This initiative will develop a new business model which accelerates the expansion in availability of South Australian carbon offsets from native vegetation regeneration for example on Kangaroo Island and the SA River Murray floodplain. The signal sent to the market from the state government and corporate partners committing to purchase South Australian offsets with biodiversity is intended to encourage wider growth of the sector in South Australia, providing long term economic opportunities.

This initiative is funded from the increase in the solid waste levy approved in the 2016–17 Budget.



Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources Cleland Wildlife Precinct — Master Plan



This initiative provides $2.5 million for the creation of a comprehensive master plan for Cleland Wildlife Park. Owned by the Government of South Australia, Cleland Wildlife Park has a 50-year track record as a provider of up-close encounters with many of Australia’s most-loved animals. The growing tourism demand from Asia presents an opportunity to attract private investment and develop Cleland Wildlife Park into a contemporary world-class attraction that will stimulate jobs and economic activity.

Sea wall repairs — Coast Protection Board



This initiative provides $1.85 million to support the City of Charles Sturt to repair the West Beach sea wall ($1.25 million) and the Kingston District Council to repair the Wyomi Beach sea wall ($600 000) following damage by severe weather events. The grant funding will be provided through the Coast Protection Board.

This initiative provides for the development of a new online portal to streamline dog and cat management in South Australia, replacing individual council registers from 1 July 2018. The system will have positive impacts on local councils and the community by providing a consolidated one stop shop for records relating to the management of dogs and cats in the state including registration details, microchip and breeder information for each pet. Owners will be able to self-register their dogs and cats and update personal information online. Councils will benefit from reduced administrative red tape and the power to access centralised information which will enable better management and help reunite lost pets with owners sooner.

The initiative is initially being funded from the Dog and Cat Management Fund (investing payments of $600 000). Additional revenue from increasing the percentage of dog registration fees paid into the Dog and Cat Management Fund by councils and from introducing breeder registration fees will be used to fund the costs of the new system and breeder registration administration.

This initiative provides $13.5 million over three years for the Flows for the Future project which will restore natural flow patterns in key South Australian tributaries of the River Murray to improve river health and support strong and sustainable agriculture and tourism industries for South Australia. The project will improve the health and resilience of two high priority catchments, the Angas and Bremer Rivers in the Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, by restoring natural water flow patterns that have been affected by water capture. The project will involve low flow bypasses at up to five hundred strategically located dams and water course diversions to shift the way water is taken, to ensure environmental flows are provided to maintain river health at critical times while also allowing for water harvesting of higher flows for consumptive use.

The project is funded by the Commonwealth (90 per cent) and state (10 per cent) governments.

Department of Treasury and Finance Headquartered Company Taskforce



This initiative provides $250 000 in 2017–18 to the Property Council of Australia (SA Division) for the establishment of a Headquartered Company Taskforce to pursue and promote South Australia as a home base for major multinational companies. The taskforce will highlight South Australia's competitive advantages of relocating or establishing headquarters in the state, including housing affordability, cost of living, life style, climate and educational facilities. The initiative also aims to attract investment and skilled migrants and retain our young people in an age of technology where the physical placement of a business is no longer key to its success.

'I Choose SA' campaign



This initiative provides $2 million in 2017–18 to extend the 'I Choose SA' campaign to 30 June 2018 to encourage consumers to actively look for South Australian products and services when buying. The 'I Choose SA' awareness campaign was launched in August 2016 to support South Australian products, including partnering with retailers to clearly distinguish the South Australian made products that they offer. This campaign enables the public to identify and purchase local products and services that support the South Australian economy, and encourages business to use local good and services.

This initiative provides $6.4 million to upgrade the Bundaleer reservoir to supply water to high value agriculture producers in South Australia's Mid-North region, if the Commonwealth Government agrees to contribute $3.18 million towards the project. The Government of South Australia will also commit $3.18 million from the Regional Development Fund. The costs of the project are reflected in the public non-financial corporations sector.

Once developed, the project is expected to deliver new agricultural activity generating around $4.6 million revenue for the region and up to 25 full time direct jobs.

A decision on Commonwealth funding is expected in 2017–18.

The project is to be funded by SA Water along with a contribution of $45.6 million being sought from the Commonwealth Government through the National Water Infrastructure Development Fund. The costs of the project are reflected in the public non-financial corporations sector.

NAIS will supply 12GL per year of treated water from Bolivar Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Northern Adelaide Plains to increase horticultural activity with the expansion of irrigated food production in the area.

This initiative is expected to add more than $500 million a year to the state’s economy, and create 3700 jobs in and around Adelaide’s northern suburbs if successful.

A decision on Commonwealth funding is expected in 2017–18.
